How Suicide Quietly Morphed Into a Public Health Crisis. Overtaxed Working Memory Knocks the Brain Out of Sync. In 1956, the renowned cognitive psychologist George Miller published one of the field’s most widely cited papers, “The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two.” In it, he argued that although the brain can store a whole lifetime of knowledge in its trillions of connections, the number of items that humans can actively hold in their conscious awareness at once is limited, on average, to seven.

The Spanish company «Graphenano» has presented together with its Chinese partner «Chint» batteries made with a graphene polymer which, if they are used in electric vehicles, it would allow an autonomy of 800 kilometers.

It also occupies between 20 and 30% less than a lithium battery and could be charged in just 5 minutes. Graphene is a nanomaterial formed by pure carbon, with atoms arranged in regular hexagonal pattern, similar to graphite and whose characteristics are hardness, flexibility and elasticity. It is transparent, has a very high thermal and electrical conductivity, is light and generates electricity when reached by light. Grabat batteries presented by Graphenano’s president and CEO, Martín Martínez, are aimed to be used as home batteries – to be self-sufficient – in electric vehicles (both cars and bicycles), drones or even pacemakers.

It could even reach aa autonomy of more than 1,000 kilometers, depending on the car. Grabat Energy press release in attached PDF. Walmart's Future Workforce: Robots and Freelancers. Over the past few weeks, Walmart executives have sketched a picture of the company’s future that features more self-checkouts and a grocery-delivery business—soon escalating to 100 cities from a pilot program in six cities.

Personal shoppers will fill plastic totes with avocados and paper towels from Walmart store shelves, and hand off packages to crowdsourced drivers idling in the parking lot. Assembly will be outsourced, too: Workers on Handy, an online marketplace for home services, will mount televisions and assemble furniture. The Walmart of the future relies more heavily on the gig economy and automation. Spotify Prices At $165.90, Valued Just Under $30 Billion.

Tight labor markets and rising minimum wages are leading to real pay increases for lots of Americans.

These are two economic trends I have been writing about for the past several years. The tightening job market was one of the hidden stories of the early stage of the recovery from the great financial crisis. Once the unemployment rate fell below 5 percent in early 2016, economists and others began recognizing what was more or less inevitable. This has helped workers in the middle of the wage distribution, while new laws raising minimum wages are helping laborers at the bottom of the economic strata. Before someone takes credit for these long-standing trends, let’s take a closer look at why wages are rising, and what it might mean for the broader economy. Let’s begin with the minimum wage. The strongest argument in favor of raising the minimum wage nationwide is that it has failed to keep up with inflation and productivity.

Republicans-are-about-to-repeat-kansas-tax-cut-disaster. Trump tax cuts: A 'win' for the GOP, a disaster for the rest of us. With the Senate’s passage of a budget framework on Thursday night, Republicans hope to enact a sweeping overhaul of the tax code by Christmas.

What that “sweeping overhaul” entails, however, we don’t really know, except that it cannot possibly live up to all that President Donald Trump has promised. His biggest tax cut in history will put $4,000 to $9,000 in the pockets of average families, spur massive economic growth and lead to a balanced budget within eight years. Trump tax cuts: A 'win' for the GOP, a disaster for the rest of us. Republicans are about to repeat Kansas’ tax cut disaster. Even Wall Street Thinks Trump’s Tax Plan Is a Disaster. Almost immediately after Donald Trump released his much-awaited tax plan, politicians, economists, and talking heads called it out for what it is: a huge giveaway to the rich that may even raise taxes for middle-class families.

Given that the president and his team have tried to sell the plan, unveiled yesterday, as a gift to the average worker that will in no way benefit people like, for instance, Donald Trump, the reviews were particularly harsh. “The GOP tax plan delivers massive tax cuts to millionaires & giant corporations & kicks working families to the curb,” Senator Elizabeth Warren tweeted.

The latest outrage in the so-called "tax cut" negotiation emerged yesterday, where the idea was floated of putting "triggers" in the bill so if the deficit blooms -- that is, if the alleged "growth" that would lead to higher revenues fails to materialize then taxes would go back up. Of course the problem with this on whom will the taxes go back up?

A small Michigan township is making a stand against Nestle, temporarily blocking the company from pumping millions of gallons of groundwater for bottled water.

Citizens near Evart, Michigan became outraged when Nestlé proposed to build even larger pipelines to increase the flow of water to its plant in Standwood. Global News CA details the local resistance to Nestlé’s proposed expansion to collect even more ground water: The added capacity provided by the proposed booster pump would make it possible for Nestlé to extract an estimated 1,500 litres of groundwater per minute, representing more than 4.2 million bottles of water in a 24-hour period. That’s equal to 794 million litres of water annually. As explained by Global News CA, “the company is currently limited to pumping 945 litres per minute, up significantly from its pre-2015 cap of 565 litres per minute.” In September, Bloomberg estimated Nestlé’s 20-year supply agreement with California’s U.S. What Makes Google's Eric Schmidt So Afraid? (And What Should He Be Afraid of?) Authored by Jan Oberg via The Strategic Culture Foundation, Another One: Japan's "Fake Data" Scandal Hits Mitsubishi Materials.

So Kobe Steel was not an isolated incident and faking data on manufacturing quality in Japan is quite common, as other lower profile scandals at Nissan Motor and Takata proved. Today another culprit has come to light: Mitsubishi Materials – which may need to re-consider its corporate philosophy “For People, Society and the Earth” and Articles 2 and 3 of its code of conduct “Safety First” and “Compliance”. Muir: "People Are Going To Be Wiped Out" By Short-VIX ETFs. Back in August, we highlighted a story in the New York Times about a former manager at Target who decided to try day trading with $500,000 he had saved up.

Over the following years, he turned that into $13 million by following one simple strategy: Shorting volatility every time it spiked. As MacroVoices host Erik Townsend points out, that strategy has worked for many retail investors over the past eight years. And in a brief “postgame” interview with the Macro Tourist Kevin Muir following a longer interview with Francesco Filia, a fund manager at Fasanara Capital, the former explains how many investors don’t understand the risks associated with shorting volatility, as well as the possible repercussions if exchanges and brokerages don’t take the appropriate steps to limit this. Going back to 2009, the price of the ETF has gone from $120,000 a share to just $35. It’s frightening. "When To Worry?": How Long After The Curve Inverts Does The Recession Begin. The recent (bear) flattening of the US yield curve to levels not seen since before the GFC, a move which has only accelerated in recent weeks as the stock market hit all time highs, has prompted some to question the strength of the US economic cycle, and others to ask outright how long before the curve inverts, signaling an imminent recession.

Here, as Citi's Jeremy Hale notes, just as "Dr. Copper" can sometimes be viewed as a stock market precursor, so "Professor Curve" (particularly when inverted or aggressively flattening) can be viewed as a signal of that policy is too restrictive relative to economic fundamentals (especially when using term premium suggests the curve should already be inverted). Citi's Shocking Admission: "There Is A Growing Fear Among Central Bankers They've Lost Control" How Trump Could Have Used Democrats to Crush the Establishment GOP. In a normal Republican White House, it would be unnecessary for the press secretary to state, on multiple occasions, within a single briefing, that “The president is a Republican.”
